Exogenous expression of Act79B rescues the mst depletion-induced defects in the visceral muscle. (A) Confocal images of the intestine with indicated genotypes stained with phalloidin. Scale bars: 200 μm and 5 μm. (B) Confocal images of the intestine with indicated genotypes stained with phalloidin. Scale bars: 200 μm. (C) Comparison of the diameter of the intestine with indicated genotypes. N = 12–18. ***, p < 0.0005; n.s., not significant by ANOVA Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. (D) Comparison of the survivorship of the flies with indicated genotypes. N = 4–7. Statistical significance was analyzed by Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. p < 0.0001. (E) Schematic drawings of the structure of actin filaments. The joints highlighted by the colored or the dashed-line boxes with arrows to illustrate the putative dense bodies.
